We need two striker, but not one 19 and one 22. Youngster need game time to develop. 

I do not believe this to be the case, and Håland is so cheap we could also bring in a pure ageing vet for emergency cover.

If we now have the chance to buy him for peanuts, it is madness to not try and block Manure. 

Håland is a beast physically and I am more than willing to go through growing pains to reap his type of talent.

We are not talking about signing a 25+ player backup, we are talking about signing an etoo type. A 33+ year old downhill striker who is willing to play for a one year contract. 

If you play him as 2nd choice, michy won't be happy. We are pretty much left with Tammy and an old striker. If Tammy is injured for just one month, we are pretty much screwed. 

You're confusing this with Tomo's own suggestion. The main point here is getting a striker that Lampard can trust to step in for Abraham when needed - be it through rotation or providing competition for the main spot.

All this talks about which striker we should buy in January. Problem is our main target and other big names will not be available this time. So, got the feeling we will made another loan with option to buy signing like Higuain, in Jovic or Zaha to replace Giroud.

Problem with a quality second striker is that it could lead to squad problems down the line. Arsenal have Laca and Auba, and constantly play Auba out of position. City have Jesus and Aguero and neither wants to be on the bench.

Juggling between 2 or even 3 strikers is always a tricky business but we don't want to have a huge difference in quality between them, do we? If people are fine with having competition for places in other areas of the squad, then a little competition upfront wouldn't be the worst thing.

But who out there right now fits that bill?

It's upto our well paid scouts to find and identify.

They'll almost certainly be someone of decent profile out there, for example, if we were searching for a striker in 2015 would you have thought of Firmino?

Pay me the wages our scouts get and I'll go and bring loads of suggestions.
